Ring-a-ling
The witch is dead
The jester refuses
To stand on his head
He is mad at the King
For burning his sister
And now the kingdom
Is deprived of its trickster
Ring-a-ling
Knights are searching the land
For another buffoon
That can walk on his hands
The Queen is despondent
She will laugh at no other
For the jester is also
Her own secret lover
Ring-a-ling
The King is dead
Struck by a blow
To the back of the head
The land is in mourning
But the court is aglow
It seems that the jester
Is gladly performing
His farewell show
Ring-a-ling
Tomorrow morning
The jester will marry the Queen
And cast aside his pointy hat
For the golden crown
Of a murdered King
Ring-a-ling
Ring-a-ling
